Extra Notes

I am a pro-wrestling fan, and I am also a Detective Conan. Sometimes, I want to mix them both, and usually this comes in the form of a fan art. And since September 10 is what Detective Conan fans consider as “Kudo Day”, I decided to use this as a chance to let Shinichi Kudo (Conan’s adult form) step in the wrestling ring. And facing off against him is his “friendly competitor”, the man behind Kaito Kid — Kaito Kuroba.

For this piece, I decided to let Shinichi perform the Shining Wizard. The reasoning for this goes all the way back to 2003, when the pro-wrestling episodes of the series first aired. One of the highlights of those episodes was the featuring of Keiji Mutoh’s Shining Wizard. As such, this piece is a nod to those episodes.

For their ring gear, I opted to let Shinichi wear some Keiji Mutoh inspired gear. After all, I did get to draw Conan in Keiji Mutoh attire, so it’s a sort of continuity for my works. As for Kaito Kuroba, I chose to use some Kaito Kid inspired attire.

And why did I plaster a face of a speechless, sweatdropping Conan? Because I’m willing to bet that he, a detective geek with no combat experience, would think pro-wrestling is something he wouldn’t ever, ever do. And yet, here we are.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this piece. Happy Kudo Day everyone.
